A mid engine layout with a 40:60 weight distribution does justice to its rear-wheel drive layout.

Essentially a run-of-the-mill Duster under the skin, the D-Cross features a stronger power dome on the bonnet, radically styled grille and what seem to be LED headlamps, sporty lower guard for the bumper along with futuristic fog lamps.

At the back, the angular rear quarter glass livens up the otherwise flat glasshouse and the new tail lights look fairly modern.

A tribute to the rally starring original A 110, the Renault Alpine A 110-50 concept’s inherent characteristics reek of hard core performance and driving delight.

Coated in a new shade of blue which refreshes and reinterprets the famous original ‘Alpine Blue’ Renault paint job, the A 110-50 concept is a radical looking performance machine that means business.

The 3.5-litre 24-valve 400hp V6 engine mounted mid-rear is mated to a semi-automatic six-speed sequential gearbox, and cera-metallic twin-plate clutch that can be controlled with pedal or steering mounted paddle.

Originally slated to replace the iconic Land Rover Defender, the Defender DC100 concept is being designed to meet the requirements of armed forces and humanitarian groups like the Red Cross.

When it was first showcased in Frankfurt, Land Rover stated that the new Defender will come loaded with gizmos to make sure that the driver is always aware of the terrain and has the necessary capabilities to tackle it.

‘Always-on’ connectivity and telematics along with built-in induction charging stations.

The powertrain options will use the latest technology to optimise performance and fuel efficiency both on the road and off it.

Home grown automobile maker Tata, in collaboration with Tata Technologies, their cutting edge IT department, came up with the eMO (short for electric MObility) electric concept car.

Unveiled at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show, the Tata eMO is powered by liquid-cooled dual motors that generate 25PS of power.

The electric motors are driven by a lithium ion battery that gives the eMO a driving range of 160km on full charge and a top speed of 105km/h.

A large glass panoramic roof, large windows, an LCD tablet in place of a conventional dashboard and an almost non-existent centre console make the eMO feel even more spacious than it appears. It seats four adults in comfort, and its massive front doors and rear suicide doors provide easy ingress and egress.

After the 90s F1 supercar, the P1 is McLaren’s latest attempt to take on the best in the business.

It will sport a tweaked version of the 3.8-litre, direct injection, V8 engine that will develop over 800PS of power!

McLaren claims it will be the best driver’s car in the world on both road and track when it goes into production late 2013.

The P1 will be slotted above the MP4-12C supercar both in terms of performance and price.
